Spanish Navy christens second Isaac Peral-class submarine

The Spanish Navy recently held a christening ceremony for the future Narciso Monturiol, the second S-80-class diesel-electric submarine built by Navantia.

Like class lead boat Isaac Peral, the future Narciso Monturiol will have an LOA of 80.8 metres, a hull diameter of 7.3 metres, a submerged displacement of approximately 3,000 tonnes, and air-independent propulsion, which can supply the boat with electrical power at any depth so that it can remain underwater for longer periods.
